I have an x8 on the way but it’s coming from china or somewhere. I’m looking for a either 2 in a row or 2 parallel. really like the form factor of the two in a row. but I don’t know if I should get a triple emitter or single deep. I like throwy lights but it’s not a deal breaker if it doesn’t have super throw. my price range is around 18-25$ i’m ok with ebay i just want the light within the next week or so. any recommendations?
Generally
Single deep = throw
Triple = floodier
I have no brilliant suggestions at this stage
That’s a tough one. Within a week narrows it down to USA, unless you’ve experimented a bit and found an optimal Chinese based shop…
$25 narrows it down a lot more, and 2x 18650 hits pretty much on 1 well known light. Small Sun ZY-T08. RMM over at MntElectronics has one but it may bump a little over $25.
Might be able to find something on ebay(us).
Yelz y3 with extension tube, over 35 $
Or better spend a few more bucks for a premium flaslight Olight sr51, over 50 $
Small Sun ZY-T08 @ FT just a hair over your budget
Small Sun ZY-T13 @DX for just a tad more
Edit: Oops…missed the part about you wanting it so soon.
I'm a newbie, so take that into consideration. I would definitely take a veteran forum member's recommendations over mine.
I bought 3 of these off of Ebay, to have a light in all our vehicles:
The ones I received have an emitter that has no marking on them, & they aren't near as bright as my XPG-R2 SK98.
I paid $9.96 shipped for the whole package.
They're decent enough for a general purpose light, but certainly nothing special.
